    1 December 2013 // flaviabi

    kiwiThanks to the great group of Friends of Latina! They brought us lots of kiwis (because their manufacturers) so  we have prepared this chutney that they tasted with Pecorino cheese but is also great with the roasted meats:

     

    8 ripe kiwi

    1 white onion

    1 clove of garlic

    Fresh ginger in root

    2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

    half apple

    salt

    Chili powder

    8 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar

    rosemary

    Cut kiwi, onion, apple and garlic into small pieces and place in heat, when it starts to heat up, add some grated fresh ginger, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, plenty of chilli powder and a sprig of rosemary. Cook for at least an hour until the mixture is completely blended and became a puree.
